Hey guys! This is my first post here on the forum. Here's a song my wife, Samantha and I wrote for Christmas this year. A special thanks to Charlie Fogle for introducing me to BIAB, the mentorship, ideas and just a listening ear. Love what you guys are doing! Would love to hear your thoughts. Blessings in 2019!

Hi Nate! Welcome to the User Showcase!

I enjoyed your song very much. It's beautifully done and love the backing tracks you chose for your arrangement.

Happy New Year and looking forward to hearing more from you and Sam.

Nate,

A job well done. A very good write. Good original sounding Christmas song.

Nice production - showcases the song well - and a good mix.

(And Charlie's a good guy to know for learning how to use BIAB!)

Welcome to the Showcase.

A new Christmas classic!

Everything about this is super; great vocal and harmonies, backing tracks and lyrics.

This is really good!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hi, an excellent song! If I were you, I would get a copy of this to Alison Krauss for recording consideration.

Sincerely,

Welcome to the User's Forum, Mr. Watts...

It's nice to listen to a seasonal song with such a quietly inpsirational message! Your RealTracks arrangement has an easy, rolling sound that instilled a reassuring feeling in my heart, a feeling that was increased by your humble, praise-invoking lyrics. Your singing along with the soothing harmony was "midnight clear". The accompanying video was attractive, too.

I sure wish He would come back, and soon! smile

Thanks for the hope you put into my day. Abundant blessings and Happy New Year to you and Ms. Samantha.

Sincerely,

LOREN

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
